What is recorded here
Maulagallane in County Cork, Ireland, contains a large stone ringfort, though its exact position has been lost to time. The site is a fairytale of forgotten stone, where human hands built a fortress that disappeared into grass and memory. What remains is a ghost of a wall, waiting for someone to walk the field and find the shape it hid.
According to O'Donoghue (1986, 56), 'Here are traces of a large caher or stone fort'. As the precise location of this possible cashel is unknown, it remains unlocated within the townland.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
